    The first amp would be a 300 watt amp and the 2nd would be a 600 watt amp.

    That is about the best answer (really no answer) since actual spec's would be needed.

    I assume that an amp that rates it's wattage as 'program' would have a peak of 2 to 2.5 times 'program'

    that is what i was assuming that a amp that says 300 watt per channel (program) is not 300 watt continuous per channel. if anyone else has any info it would help. Thanks
